bio
In September of 2006, with my hands in wet clay, salmon and steelhead started emerging about the same time they were passing by my house about half a mile from the Clackamas River near Carver, Oregon. One evening after dinner, I pressed in some fish bones. Later, I liked how red and black oxide washes brought out fossil-like images.
